TEHRAN – Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Friday strongly denounced the Saudi-led coalition’s Thursday airstrike in Yemen that led to the deaths of more than 30 civilians, mostly children, in the western province of Hudaydah.

In a statement, Qassemi decried the heinous crime committed by the Saudi and Emirati air forces, and offered his condolences to the bereaved families of the victims, Tasnim reported.

Not long after the Saudi-led coalition’s attack on a school bus in Yemen’s Sa’ada, the world is witnessing “a new crime” against the oppressed Yemeni people, he added.
